I am a new Galaxy user and I am trying to find out more about creation
and
usage of workflows. Once you have a workflow, its usage seems to be
quite
straighforward. But for the workflow creation, I am still looking for
more
documentation. I am especially interested in these topics:
* How can I start a workflow with data from my computer if the upload
step
is not available for workflows?
* What should I do for my new tools (added in my own Galaxy
installation) to
be able to participate in workflows. Anything specila to add in their
XML
description file perhaps? [Perhaps this question is more for the
galaxy-dev
mailing list?]
* Is there perhaps more documentation on Galaxy workflows anywhere?
Thanks for any help,
Martin

Hi Martin,
You'll need to upload the data manually before starting the workflow
on the data.
Once you've verified that your tool is running in Galaxy, you'll be
able to use it in a workflow without further modification. Nothing
special needs to be done in the XML.
There are screencasts that describe workflows (#s 4 and 5) from a user
perspective: http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/u/aun1/p/screencasts
In general, the Galaxy wiki has much useful information for tool
developers: http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/SiteMap
Best,
J.
